Summary

The council voted to call a Dec. 1 public hearing under Resolution 6300 to consider transferring general-fund dollars to a central garage fund to procure site and design services; staff said the action allows professional services procurement but does not obligate construction funds.

On Nov. 17 the Kalispell City Council adopted Resolution 6300, calling a public hearing for Dec. 1 to consider an intra-fund transfer from the general fund to a central garage fund for siting and design work on a proposed central garage facility.

Staff said the proposed transfer would create a line item enabling the city to procure professional services related to site selection and design. "It would just move some funds into a line item that would allow the city to procure professional services relating to site and design of the central garage facility," staff said, adding that the resolution would not obligate funds beyond that initial procurement.

Councilor Carlson moved to adopt the resolution of intent; the council recorded roll-call votes with Councilors Dowd, Dahlmann, Hunter, Nunnally, Carlson and Mayor Johnson voting aye and the motion carried.

The resolution initiates the formal public-process step of holding a hearing on Dec. 1; any actual budget transfer or contract awards would require subsequent council approval after the hearing.
